Code Red | Award Winning Coming-Of-Age Short Film on Period
Honestly, I was kinda uneasy at first but this film’s raw honesty ended up hitting me in a way I didn’t expect—like, it’s messy and real and kinda beautiful all at once.
Just watched this and wow, it hit me right in the feels—such a raw and honest take on something so many brush under the rug. Kinda pissed that we still treat periods like some weird secret, but also weirdly hopeful that films like this exist. Props to the creators for keeping it real and not sugarcoating the awkwardness.
